THE TRUTH ABOUT TRUMPCARE
Created by Indivisible Nob Hill founder

TRUMPCARE
Would transfer $275
Billion from public-health
spending to the richest 1
or 2 percent. (1)
The 1%
TRUMPCARE
is a 600 Billion TAX CUT,
with the benefits going
almost entirely to the
wealthy. (1)
TRUMPCARE
Repealing the limit of
flexible spending accounts
and expanding health
savings accounts, will
disproportionately benefit
the rich. (1)
TRUMPCARE
Stealing Healthcare from
24 Million People (2)
children, elderly,
minorities, disabled
and poor
TRUMPCARE
Only 26 percent of
Americans support ACA
repeal(1)
TRUMPCARE
The amended American
Health Care Act would allow
states to apply for a waiver
to define their own essential
health benefits starting in
2020 (4)
TRUMPCARE
Medicare Cuts result in 24,000
- 44,000 more Americans
dying every year from lack of
insurance. Not to mention
medical bankruptcies, lost
wages, untreated
illnesses...(8)
TRUMPCARE
Will worsen the financial
state of the Medicare
Hospital Insurance Trust
Fund (3)
TRUMPCARE
More than 70 million Americans,
half of which are children, rely on
Medicaid. Trumpcare cuts federal
funding for the program, which will
result in states having to ration
care and cut the quality of
services.(8)
TRUMPCARE
AHCA will result in health
plans covering a lower
share of patients' medical
expenses. . (6)
TRUMPCARE
Trumpcare incentivizes states to drop
consumer protections - insurance
companies will be allowed to charge
people more if they have a
pre-existing condition.
130 million Americans have a pre-
existing conditions and could face
premiums over $100,000 a year. (8)
TRUMPCARE
Allows insurance companies to
charge older Americans significantly
more for their healthcare.
A single, 64 year old adult making
$26,500 a year would have to pay
$14,600 in annual premiums a
750% increase from current law.(8)
TRUMPCARE
Hike deductibles by $1500 on
average it pushes Americans into
low-quality, high cost-sharing
health insurance by providing
meager tax credits compared to
the Affordable Care Act. This is the
opposite of what Trump promised
in his campaign (8)
TRUMPCARE
Put lifetime and annual benefit
caps back on the table even for
those with employer coverage.
This means a baby with a
serious medical condition
could use up its lifetime limits
in the first month of life under
Trumpcare.(8)
TRUMPCARE
Will make women pay more for health
insurance than men. Because insurance
companies could charge more for
pre-existing conditions like breast
cancer or assault survival and because
pregnancy care no longer would be a
required benefit, women would once
again pay more for health care than
men. (8)
TRUMPCARE
Defunds Planned Parenthood.
Nearly 3 million Americans,
especially women and
families, receive affordable
health care services annually
at Planned Parenthood
facilities.
TRUMPCARE
Harm children with special needs by
cutting Special Education funds for
schools. Medicaid funds a large portion of
education for students with a variety of
disabilities. Buried in the bill is a
provision that no longer recognizes
schools as required Medicaid providers,
on top of the massive cuts to the
program.
TRUMPCARE
Overall, AHCA 2.0 cuts federal support of
Medicaid by $839 billion over 10 years, but
creates an $8 billion fund over five years to
help support those special pools of the
very-sick. (7)
TRUMPCARE
High-risk pools aren’t new, and they
just don’t work. In the past, high-risk
pools have been dramatically
underfunded by the states and federal
government, resulting in skimpy
coverage and high prices for those
who need insurance the most.(9)
TRUMPCARE
It is estimated that at least $174.1
billion per year would be needed to
adequately fund a national high-risk
pool. There is no indication that
Congressional Republicans or Trump
are willing to give states that kind of
money.(9)
TRUMPCARE
250,000 New Mexicans
will be kicked off
insurance and lose
healthcare .(10)
TRUMPCARE
Several rural hospitals in
New Mexico - the only
major medical in those
areas, will shut their doors
and close .(10)
TRUMPCARE
Loss of Medicaid expansion
means that the 75% of
nursing home patients in
New Mexico, paid through
Medicaid, will lose that
coverage.(10)
TRUMPCARE
Statewide, we will
lose 32,000 jobs -and
we're already #1 in
unemployment.(10)
